Update 12 years in the making

 I am embarrassed to see my last post here was in 2008. But I am trying to get the lullaby book back on track. In addition I am going to collect some family stories, stories I was told as a child, and stories that reflect the life Tom and I have built. I will endeavor to be a bit better about actually writing rather than just planning to write.
